Now check out Niki and Jelly.

You've seen this before.

Niki's chest is held by decorated, shimmering, golden fabric, which crosses over beneath her neck to wrap around the back as a garment similar to what Eva currently ears. Beneath her prominent underboob, not only does the gold trail down and around to her back as well, but chains dangle from the center, each holding a small red gemstone. The gold turns gradually to orange as it moves outwards, like the flames of the sun. Frilly, ribbon-covered material wraps around her waist, and it flows down to her feet, though the entire left side is opened so high that the cut nearly reaches her hip. This reveals a pair of matching boots adorned with more tiny red stones, and they stretch up just past her knees, though leaves the top of her feet bare, much like a pair of sandals. Her arms are covered by the same sort of gold silk, from which comes translucent, light-weight material, which flow behind her as she moves. These ribbons extend out from her dress as well. If she were to be hit by a powerful breeze, she would look like some sort of sun goddess. Finally, a thin chain wraps around her head, from which dangles a few more of those gemstones to match the rest.

This is some serious deja vu.

She steps forward. You look to her dark, exposed skin--her slender legs, moving towards you, and her bare midriff, further contrasted by the vibrant colour of her new attire. You look to her distractingly present cleavage, and note that it's fortunate that her markings remain covered. It's less risqué than Eva's so that said markings aren't seen underneath. That being said, it still draws in your eyes, though with how amazing every inch of her looks, your attention doesn't know where to stop.

Her lips are painted to match her wardrobe, and even her eyes and cheeks have been subtly done-up.

That's it! This is what she wore way back when you took her to the ball.

It isn't exactly like last time, however. She still moves self-consciously, as this is far from what she normally wears, but after she walks across the room in silence, she stops before you--beside Eva and Amara--and plants her hands firmly against her hips. Beyond the makeup on her cheeks is clearly real flustered blushing, though she stares you in the eyes more like the confident fighter you're used to seeing. "... W-Well?" she barely gets out, however. "I heard the rest of you talking. So how do I look, huh? Not that it matters."

The rest of the girls look to her with warm smiles.

"You look fantastic," you say. "Like a warrior goddess of fire. I know you don't think this sort of thing fits you, but I feel the same way now as I did back then. You're beautiful, Niki. It doesn't matter what you wear. If you do it with the same confidence you have in combat, nothing can stop you. And remember what happened last time? At the end, you got to fight people anyway."

She grins. "That's true. That was a fun time! I got to fight a half-orc."

"And then afterwards..."

Niki laughs to cover up her flustered reaction, albeit poorly. "So, how's Jelly doing back there, Luna?"

"Ah, well she is quite--Come back!" Luna calls out.

Suddenly, Jelly comes running into the room. She wears baggy, silken, white pants opened completely down the outer sides which tuck into pointed shoes, making her look like quite the adorable translucent genie. Inside seems to be golden undies, though by how the attire is made, you're meant to see them, so perhaps underwear isn't the right word. Placed through her hair (or thread through the slime) is a tiny yellow flower that looks somewhat like a dandelion. However, the problem is that she has nothing on top. Her round, bouncy bust is not only free, but small, prominent nipples are seen at the tips.

"You'll never catch me~!" Jelly says as she giggles.

Luna hurries into the room with the top in her hands. "Please. You can't go half naked, as adorable as you are."

And why is she purposely doing this with her body? She only looks this way if she chooses... I wonder if it was a poor idea agreeing to bring Jelly along.

"Jelly," Amara speaks up. "Please put on your top, or else we will be late."

Stopping in front of the rest, she smiles wide. "Aw. Okay." Then she stares straight at you. After a moment, she looks down at herself, and gently places her hands over her bare chest. "Hey... D-Don't stare at them."

"You're the one who's refusing to get dressed," you reply.

She sticks out her tongue and then turns back to Luna. After being given the top, she wraps it around her torso. Similar to the blouse Eva usually wears, this white piece of clothing covers from her wrists up to her chest where it's bound in the middle, not but buttons but an adorable golden clip with the image of a smiley face. It stops there, showing just as much midriff as the others. Though compared to everybody, she certainly appears the most exotic. Certainly no normal person is used to seeing a slime girl dancer. Her pale purple body is nearly see-through, and while she has full control of her body, she appears in her normal state at the moment. Well, almost. You can still see the faint, subtle poke of the tips of her breasts against her top, which normally wouldn't be strange, as that's the case for all the other girls here, but you know full well that Jelly has a choice to do so.

Mr. Godwin Griffiths is now fully dressed in his fancy suit. You stroke your fake moustache, readjust your glasses, and look to your band of four dancing dames.

"Thank you, Luna. And thanks again, Lynx. We'll do our best out there. But are you ready? Eva. Amara. Niki. Jelly."

Each of them nod, but Niki tugs on her top. "I guess," she mutters. "But if Lord Vraelion gets handsy with us, I'm knocking his head off. I don't care if he's a dragon."

"I don't think he's known to be like that," Eva says. "Though he's probably still a huge ass."

Amara chuckles nervously. "If I had to guess, I do not think Mr. Griffiths' dancers speak in such a manner."

"Huge ass! Huge ass!" Jelly repeats.

You wave your hands. "All right. Please. Just act calm, or there won't have been a point to any of this."

"Besides a reason to dress you all up again," Luna says with a coy smile.
